Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that it is “really good” that Ben White and Gabriel played for the Gunners against Brentford yesterday, as quoted on the club’s official website.
What’s the story?
Arteta’s Arsenal played against Premier League rivals Brentford in a friendly yesterday.
As Arsenal announced on their official website, the match was played behind closed doors at London Colney.
Defenders White and Gabriel started in a three-man defence, and neither player suffered an injury.
Good news for Arsenal fans
Arsenal manager Arteta is overjoyed to have White and Gabriel back in action, and believes that it is good for the team and the fans.
Arteta told Arsenal’s official website: “Yeah, really good. We don’t have any big injuries as well, they have the minutes, we could work on some things, so it was a good idea to play the game.”
Encouraging for Arsenal fans
Gabriel has yet to play for Arsenal this season, while White recently had coronavirus.
The Gunners have lost all three of their Premier League games so far, and defensively they have been poor.
White and Gabriel are likely to be the main centre-back pairing for Arsenal when they are fit and available.
It is very encouraging for Arsenal that both the players did well against Brentford.
It bodes well for the future.
Arsenal will hope that the results and performances improve after club football resumes next weekend.
